Spartan Canada doesn't get the same quality when it comes to the obstacles Spartan US gets (the twister as an example).
In regards about the burpees, it's the open division. They don't enforce burpees in this division, but in the Elite, Competitive and Age categories do. But as a downside, you are not allowed to help people.
As a personal note, I have a lot to work to do if I want to complete the grip obstacles and the Atlas Carry next year. That was a massive struggle in the past two days.

I got 12km as well. It said 14km right on the map. Still fun! Would've changed my pace a lot though. My bet was the javelin being the most burpee'd obstacle.
The rope climb and Z walls seemed much easier than in the past.
